The polyphenolic composition and antioxidant properties of red (Aglianico) and white (Falanghina) wines were evaluated. Samples showed higher values than those reported elsewhere for the same variety of wines with a different geographical origin and other more conventional wines. Lyophilised samples demonstrated to store their antioxidant profile and were subjected to in vitro assays. The best results were exhibited by white wine samples which revealed a good antiproliferative activity on intestinal neoplastic cells and an appreciable radical scavenging activity on cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
The polyphenolic composition and antioxidant properties of red (Aglianico) and white (Falanghina) wines were evaluated. Samples showed higher values than those reported elsewhere for the same variety of wines with a different geographical origin and other more conventional wines. Lyophilised samples demonstrated to store their antioxidant profile and were subjected to in vitro assays. The best results were exhibited by white wine samples which revealed a good antiproliferative activity on intestinal neoplastic cells and an appreciable radical scavenging activity on cardiomyocytes. Results highlighted the wine samples and their processed form as products with high added nutritional value and therapeutic potential.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
